Ecological Intelligence


Link: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1884779_1884782_1884776,00.html

1. Ecological intelligence is the knowing people have about their carbon foot print. It's when people do more to reduce the amounts they are using and try to find a healthier way for our planet.

2. This project connects with our essential questions because they both have to do with living more sustainable and keeping that idea alive.

3. My ecological intelligence seems pretty average to me. I know what is better for the planet but I don't always act on it. An example of this in my life would be knowing what products are good for he planet so I try to buy those but I don't always.

L.U.L.S Data

1. One thing that struck me about all the data we collected was, how many people actually recycle because they want to.

2. What surprised me about the results were the number of things people could name that were recyclable.

3. My expectations were met and I was very happy with all the results we got. People knew the reasons why they were recycling and to prove that they knew what items are recyclable. eryone we got to take the test was very helpful, but we still don't really know why people don't recycle.

4. The type of campaign I want to run is the kind that will encourage people to do the right thing which is recycling. I don't want to embarrass people because then they might not respond well to the ad.

My Ishmael 3-2-09


1. Anthropomorphism mean when something that is not at all human but acts like one. In the book it is referring to the animals that act like humans by defending what is theirs.


2. - Ishmael describes "Erratic Retaliation" as a way to keep the peace. The cawks don't really go by erratic retaliation because they still fight and erratic retaliation means to find a better way of settling a argument.

-Erratic retaliation is a peace keeping method because it is a way of finding a solution to a problem without fighting.

-The cawks annihilate each other instead of the occasional attacks because they are very aggressive animals .
